Video Consortium is teaming up with Al Jazeera English for the Calling Home, Across Geographies & Generations screening series in London.

What makes home "home" — even if you're far away from it?

Join us on Saturday, October 24 at Curzon Bloomsbury for a special night of short documentaries exploring the themes of belonging, identity, and displacement.

Doors open at 5:30pm for light bites and mingling. Stick around after the screening for a Q&A with the filmmakers, moderated by acclaimed journalist Suyin Haynes (https://suyinhaynes.com/about/).

Lineup:

War & Honey, directed by Matthew Ritenour (https://videoconsortium.org/members/matthew-ritenour)

El Regreso, directed by Samantha Ramirez-Herrera (https://videoconsortium.org/members/samramirezherrera)

Jacob’s House, directed by Lucas Kane

Taking Back Our Homes, directed by Sarah Spiller & William Davies

From Ukrainian soldiers struggling to reintegrate into society, to a DREAMER returning to Mexico and all she left behind, to an exploration of what defines a house, and locals pushing back against tourist rental properties, these stories offer a moving look at what it means to find, leave, and fight for home.
